This has been happening everywhere for years. Out of state/rentals/ and U-hauls are always on the top of the list for trivial stop and talk stops. That is how most drugs are moved. If you have plates from a medical marijuana friendly state, expect to be on the radar if you ever travel into non medical friendly states. Some traffic cops even take notice to out of county plates, as it shows the vehicle is not local.

It shouldn’t be a factor *at all*, really, but it’s a fact of life for travel in just about *any* state for police to pull over non-local drivers because they are less likely to challenge any tickets and just pay the fine to keep from having to return to the locality. In the south, it’s more common to pull over people from the north on the interstates. Apparently in Iowa they tend to target the marijuana friendly states hoping for a petty trafficking mistakes of trivial amounts, but enough for a bust beyond a broken tail light.

Cops in Altoona do the same thing to vistors at the casino. Why would people want to visit our state or attractions when the get jacked with by the cops all the time here. think of the tourism and not the al’ mighty dollar for once.
